J Pioneering Med Students Jan ;4(1):3-5.

Lung cancer can present in a wide variety of ways on radiological examination. Hilar prominence, solitary or multiple pulmonary nodules, obstructive pneumonitis, mediastinal widening and pleural effusion are the common presentations. Pneumothorax or hydropneumothorax is a very rare presenting feature of lung cancer. Here we report a case which presented as left left sided hydropneumothorax and was subsequently found to have lung cancer.
